Caliente, Nevada Refrigeration Trailer Rentals

Numbers for Caliente that matter when planning a rental: how big it is, how spread out it is, and how far the next larger place sits.

Winter storms in Nevada (November to March) can slow or close roads, so tell us your start date early and we plan the trip with the forecast in mind.

When cold storage fails in Caliente, speed of information matters most. Call (888) 385-5513 any hour, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and tell us:

In Nevada, calls like this often follow wildfire and earthquake. Planned and emergency power shutoffs can leave stores and kitchens without refrigeration, and a refrigerated trailer with its own cooling system gives them somewhere cold to put product.

For official emergency information in Nevada, see Nevada Office of Emergency Management / Homeland Security. We are not an emergency agency; for danger to life, call 911.

• The address in Caliente (and the Lincoln County location if it is outside town limits).
• What failed: a walk-in cooler, a freezer, a compressor, or the power itself.
• How much product is at risk, and whether it must stay at 32°F (cooler) or near -5°F (freezer).
• The power available at the site and whether a truck can reach the spot.
• Keep doors closed until the unit arrives so the product holds its temperature as long as possible.

The kinds of operations that rent refrigeration in a community like Caliente are a small grocer, a clinic or care home kitchen, the school lunch program, roadside restaurants, and the volunteers who run festivals and community suppers.

About 40.8 million visitors came to Las Vegas in 2023, and the city ranks third among U.S. destinations for business conventions. Hotels, casinos and convention caterers have very large food-service operations that can need temporary kitchens, dishwashing and cold storage during peaks or equipment outages.

Tourism remains Nevada's largest employer, and legalized gambling helped make it a major destination. Hospitality-dependent food service concentrates demand for temporary kitchens and warewashing.

Caliente customers use refrigeration trailers in three common ways: as emergency cover for a failed walk-in, as extra capacity during a peak (a harvest, a festival, a holiday week), and as temporary cold storage during a renovation. See rental prices for what each unit costs, or how to plan your site before delivery.

Demand also rises around events in Nevada: Best in the West Nugget Rib Cook-Off (Late summer); Consumer Electronics Show (CES) (Early January). Cook-off vendors can use temporary refrigeration, kitchens and warewashing.

Renting a refrigerated trailer in Caliente is simple, but a few items decide whether it runs smoothly on the first day.

The Southern Nevada Health District lists Special Events, Mobile Vendor Application Process and Plan Review pages under Permits and Regulations, and also runs a restaurant inspection search and a food handler safety program. Temporary kitchens, mobile units and new setups in Clark County fall under the health district's permit, plan review and inspection processes.

Washoe County's food program pages redirect to Northern Nevada Public Health's Environmental Health Services food division, which handles food permits in the Reno-Sparks area. Customers in Reno and Sparks need to work with Northern Nevada Public Health on permits for temporary or mobile food service.

• Customer type: commercial or industrial only (restaurants, grocers, healthcare, schools, hospitality, distributors, government). We do not rent to residential customers.
• Power: 220V, single phase, 40 to 60 amps for the 20 ft trailers, with a NEMA plug. Ask your electrician to confirm the circuit at your Caliente site before delivery.
• Placement: a firm, level surface with room for the trailer, its door swing, and the delivery truck. Soft ground, steep slopes, and overhead lines are the usual problems.
• Access: send the gate or door width, any low clearances, and the best approach into the property.
• Permission: if you rent the property, get the owner or manager's approval to place a trailer. For food-safety questions, contact Southern Nevada Health District (Clark County); Northern Nevada Public Health (Washoe County).
• Paperwork: your quote lists the unit, the rental length, delivery, setup, servicing, and minimum terms. An inquiry does not reserve equipment.

Rates are the same nationwide. Rentals start from $1,895 / month for a 12 ft trailer, and the price sheet prints a separate rate for 1-6 days, 8-14 days, 15 days to 1 month, and more than 3 months. See every rate. Delivery to Caliente, setup, servicing, and minimum terms are confirmed in your quote.
